Hubble has captured the image of a massive cluster Abell 3322.

 



Have you ever wondered what lies beyond our galaxy and our solar system? Well, one of the most fascinating discoveries made by the Hubble Space Telescope is massive cluster Abell 3322, a massive galaxy cluster located in the constellation Pictor, around 2.6 billion light-years away, in which the galaxy 2MASX J05101744-4519179 basks in the center. Its beauty and complexity is revealed in this stunning image captured by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and the Advanced Camera for Surveys. 


So, what makes Abell 3322 stand out from other clusters? Well, its size and luminosity at X-ray wavelengths make for a truly impressive sight. Weighing in at 2.6 billion light-years away, this immense cosmic leviathan contains hundreds of galaxies, within a radius of 1.4 million light-years, something that was only made possible with Hubble’s powerful instruments. 


The sheer size of Abell 3322 also provides us with some fascinating insights into the evolution of galaxies and their interactions with dark and luminous matter in clusters. This process is known as gravitational lensing and it has enabled astronomers to study distant objects with unprecedented detail. In fact, the location of these powerful “telescopes” can help us to observe even further with both Hubble and the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope. 


By studying Abell 3322, we are also able to gain a better understanding of how galaxies form, cluster and interact with one another over time. This process has enabled us to piece together a more complete picture of how our universe came to be. In addition, we can also use the data collected from this cluster to study star formation and uncover some of the secrets behind dark matter. 


In conclusion, we can see that the magnificent Abell 3322 has much to offer us in terms of our understanding of the universe and its evolution. With its immense size and luminosity, it stands out from other clusters and provides a wealth of knowledge for astronomers to study. Thanks to the powerful instruments of Hubble Space Telescope, we can now observe galaxies like Abell 3322 in stunning detail and gain a better understanding of our universe’s evolution.

In the triple-star system, KOI-5Ab is seen orbiting the primary star...

  KOI-5Ab continues to be a topic of discussion for researchers, as koi-5Ab has been seen orbiting the primary Star, confirming it has also been announced.  koi-5ab revolves around the primary star, it was thought to be a planet half the size of Saturn in a planetary system, and was the only other planet candidate to be detected by the KOI-5Ab mission. Kepler mission operations were initiated by NASA in 2009, by the end of spacecraft operations in 2018, the Kepler spacecraft had discovered 2,394 exoplanets, or planets orbiting stars beyond our sun, and about 2,366 exoplanets such  There are also those, which are still to be confirmed. David Ciardi, chief scientist at NASA's Exoplanet Science Institute, says the KOI-5AB was abandoned, because it was complicated, and we had thousands of candidates, and we were learning something new every day from Kepler, so that the KOI  Mostly forgot to -5. KOI-5Ab is part of the Triple Star system, where KOI-5 is a group of three st...

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope will be closed.

NASA briefly informed that the Spitzer Space Telescope will be permanently discontinued on January 30, 2020. After about 16 years of discovering the universe in light energy.  And by that time, the space shuttle has been working for more than 11 years beyond its prime mission, Spitzer examines the universe's various objects in infrared light.  It was in 2003 through the rocket that the American Space Research Organization NASA entered the space and entered the orbit around the Earth.  Spitzer rotates the sun on a path similar to that of the Earth but it runs a bit slower.  Today it is about 158 ​​million miles (254 million kilometers) away from our planet - more than 600 times the distance between Earth and Moon.  The spacing of Spitzer's orbit curve means that when the spacecraft indicates its fixed antenna on the earth to download data or receive commands, its solar panels tend to lean away from the sun.  During those periods, to operate the space shut...

SpaceX is launching its next dragon spacecraft.

SpaceX is preparing for its next mission, very soon Spacex will launch the Dragon Spacecraft with its Falcon 9 Rocket.   SpaceX is the 18th commercial reproduction service mission, dragon spacecraft will be loaded with dozens of experiments made in space.  Launch date: Sunday, July 21, 2019 at 7:35 pm  International Space Station (ISS) us  The National Laboratory SpaceX's dragon is giving a finalization to more than two dozen payloads for launch in a circular circular laboratory.  Many of these payloads are aimed at improving human health on the earth, many of which are focused on drug development.  In addition, a series of payloads from identified private sector partners will be launched on this mission.  More than 40 student experiments and demonstrations have been included on the 18th Commercial Recepti Services Mission (CRS-18) of SpaceX.  One part of ISS American National Laboratory's goal is to encourage and engage next generation scientists.                          ...
